And wtf is with these robo guys, anyway?

They apparently haven't seen Pokeballs before?

And their boxy little greeting!

Meanwhile Pearl the Pikipek has evolved into a Trumbeak!

There can be more than one Pokémon in a photo now?!

I got a photo of a Cutiefly and one of those flower-cuddling Fairy types from Kalo in one shot...

Alright Nebby, now where the frick are you hiding...

...Robo-dudes just showed up where I found Nebby. Thus does not bode well.

I REMEMBER THE OPENING CUTSCENE

...But they're looking for someone to "protect the blinding one." I'm assuming that's Nebby?

...Dude. You used a Beast Ball... to catch a Furfrou. What.

A Furfrou that keeps spamming Growl and Baby-Doll Eyes to further nerf my Attack against it.

Time for Echoed Voice!

That plus a burn Piper the Rockruff managed to get in on it did the trick.

So are these guys from the dimension the Ultra Beasts originated from?

That seems to have been their first Pokemon battle ever, judging by what they said, and they had to craft their own version of a Poke Ball...

Which is interesting, because weren't the Beast Balls made by Looker and Anabel's organization at great expense to capture the Ultra Beasts in the previous versions?
